[opendtv] Re: New Philips HDD/DVD recorder

Don't MPEG encoders still set an aspect ratio flag? Ours seem to. They also seem to exist in DVD land, which is also MPEG based.

Without AFD, an MPEG encoder doesn't care. Video is video, regardless of the aspect ratio. We will be feeding PBS the New Year's Eve "Live from Lincoln Center" show in 16:9 through the same encoder, with the same settings, that we use for 4:3. Of course, absent AFD, we need to orally tell PBS what do do with the images. 

TTFN,
Mark
